XOA Error when installing

kilo

olivierlambert

As sudoer, so with sudo before.

nackstein

@kilo at the shell prompt (as root user) type:

ip a l

you will see the IP if static of if DHCP worked.
if you need to configure the network edit (using vi or nano) /etc/network/interfaces
I show you mine as reference:

# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 172.27.217.231
    network 255.255.254.0
    gateway 172.27.217.254

once the file is edited restart the network:

systemctl restart networking

note: remember to set auto on eth0 (see the line auto lo eth0)or when you give a network restart eth0 does not get the IP address and you need to reboot the VM.

kilo

still wont work with a sudo

nackstein

@kilo ifconfig is deprecated by many year and some distro does not install it anymore.
now the suite of utilities to configure the network stack is iproute2 and it contain ip, tc, ss, bridge etc...

olivierlambert

Yep sorry do a sudo ip link and a sudo ip addr

kilo

i dont see my ip in any case

kilo

@nackstein is it interfaces.d or just interfaces

olivierlambert

Interface is down, don't know why. sudo ip link set dev eth0 up

nackstein

@kilo interfaces.d it's a directory while interfaces it's a file. In recent debian you can configure just interfaces or create new file one for each interface and put them into interfaces.d, for your purpose it's enough to edit interfaces

before editing, try to bring the interface up as suggested by Olivier. maybe you can post the content of interfaces type

cat interfaces

to show its content

kilo

okay now it shows network config....thats correct config. question remains same....why not pinging then???

kilo

Please note that my LAN is 192.168.0.x

olivierlambert

Because it's down. Put it up and see (or just reboot)

kilo

nackstein

ZacApplegate

@olivierlambert any thoughts on my issue from the post above?

olivierlambert

Please select the right network with the web UI deploy interface on http://xen-orchestra.com/#!/xoa

ZacApplegate

@olivierlambert I tried each network option and I get the same error on all of them?

I installed xcp-ng with eth2 thats what the interface says and thats the one I have been trying to use.

@ZacApplegate It appears that I am having the same issue and xapi0 doesn't appear when I run the ifconfig -a command.

@olivierlambert I have tried selecting each network option as well but to no avail.
